Tires Firestone or Nokia
I just recently switched to Nokian Wrg5 and so far I'm loving these on my 3.6 Outback. These seem to be a bit more winter focused.
We put Nokian Hakkas (I can’t spell the full name lol) on my wife’s Escape and they are the best mod we ever gave it. I swear by them now.
They have low rolling resistance according to Discount Tires tests, are light, and still grip well off road
I have Firestone Weathergrip all-weather tires in my escape and they have been just fine driving the past 3 winters in Calgary, with the odd trip out to Banff. I would say they are only questionable once the weather hits -30’s. Other than that they have been comparable to my blizzaks.
Proper all weather tires like the Nokian WRG4 are great in winter. I had them on my Lancer and highly recommend them!
I ride on Nokian outpost nat. I’ve been in everything you can think of weather wise. They are better than 3 season tires but there is no true replacement for a pure winter tire.
Firestone weathergrip on a Ford ecosport and they work well. Ive done Banff on snowy days and down to Radium as well .As always drive with extra caution.
I have had all-weathers on 3 vehicles. A Nokian that I don't recall the model of, on my RAV4. Had the tires on for about 5 years before I sold it.
I just slapped a set of Nokian Ones on my 2015 Civic and they seem to be a very good compromise to have more of a true all-season with decent snow potential. They're a tiny bit louder than my old Continentals and feel a bit more wiggly, but I assume that's one of the tradeoffs to have a bit more winter capability.
Our 3 year old WRG4 were done due to dry rot as well. Nokian have good winter rubber, but I stay away from their all seasons & all weathers.
